What is the nature of a hallucination ?
Like how does it occur ? Is it like you are in your room and all of a sudden someone appears out of nowhere ? Is it so simplistic like they show in films ?

That was my complaint about “A Beautiful Mind”. His hallucinations were too complicated, detailed and realistic. I didn’t think anyone could really hallucinate like that. That was partly the Hollywood treatment though.

Absolutely agree with you.
Hallucinations can’t really be the way they show in films… Like you are driving a car all by yourself and then suddenly midway someone pops up from the back seat and starts talking to you…

No I think for some the hallucinations are extremely realistic.
But not for the majority.
Like the “limping lady” I probably hallucinated.
I haven’t seen her around since I’ve recently stabilized

You’re just dreaming while you’re awake
things you perceive as reality are all just your brain making sense of things that are there. hallucinations on the other hand are just these perceptions triggering off on their own.

the delusions can make it feel like as if the hallucinations are realistic.
